Chronic illness is discruptive, threatening people's sense of identity and taken for granted assumptions. Transformations in values, expectations and life priorities are likely to be experienced and in order to regain a coherent sense of self people must interpret their experiences. People with difficult to diagnose illness can find themselves living with greater uncertainty and stigma. This paper explores how people with chronic fatique syndrome / myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS / ME) describe and interpret their illness experience by applying arthur fran's narrative typologies is experienced, starting with a restitution narrative, moving to a chaos narrative and for most, back to a restitution narative and on to a quest narrative. The presentation of narrative types put forward by people living with CFS / ME differ to those presented by people who are HIV positive and have been treated for breast cancer.
